02/22/2026 Author Spotlight: Craig Brownlie
This week, Craig Brownlie is our spotlight author. I met Craig at my very first Authorcon in 2022, hosted by Scares That Care, as a fan of my work, so quite a surreal moment for me as I was not yet used to anyone saying they were a fan of mine, let alone being excited to meet me. Craig was an aspiring author at the time and we quickly became friends. He's kind, gentle, and truly a wonderful person to know. Check out his interview below and be sure to pick up one of his books!

It’s Been A Year, Part 7 Reviews and thoughts on writing with Craig Brownlie That sounds a little pompous, but it’s been a minute since I’ve done any reviews because 2025 has been a worse year than even 2024, which is saying something on a personal level. But I have kept reading and writing! And this is the last of it until I actually read another book.

It’s Been A Year, Part 5 Reviews and thoughts on writing with Craig Brownlie I may have implied to a few authors that I had every intention of reading their books, but it’s been a minute since I’ve done any reviews because 2025 has been a worse year than even 2024, which is saying something on a personal level. But I have kept reading and writing! So let’s see what I thought- in real time, the way Kurt Vonnegut meant us to write. Poacher by Mark Scioneaux Brady by D.W. Hitz T

It’s Been A Year, Part 4 Reviews and thoughts on writing with Craig Brownlie Don’t get me started, but it’s been a minute since I’ve done any reviews because 2025 has been a worse year than even 2024, which is saying something on a personal level.
